1968 Yamaha YAS1C

1968 Yamaha YAS1C Twin 125cc

The old seat was totally rusted out. The foam and cover had been eaten by a mouse or rat. This is the old seat pan from a 1974 Yamaha DT100.  I hacked the mounts off the old seat and welded them on to the "new" seat pan.

Won't win any awards, but it's better than what it was before. Probably going to rivet the vinyl in the corners.

Here it is with the side trim and Clubman bars.

This is how you know it's barn fresh.

New sealed battery, EBC brake shoes (thanks Benji!), Michelin Gazelle tires, tubes, and replaced some broken spokes. Oil pump has been bypassed, and seized steering dampener removed. No permanent modifications have been made.

Montgomery Wards Riverside / Benelli Cobra / Leoncino 125

This 100% complete bike is was sold in the USA in 1969 as a Montgomery Wards Riverside 125. It was also imported under the name "Benelli Cobra" and sold in it's native Italy as the "Benelli Leoncino." It is a 4 -speed right hand shift, 1 up, 3 down. This bike was laid up properly with lots of oil and so the internals are in good shape. The motor is a piston ported 2-stroke - no case induction or reed valve here. 125 cc. The motor turns over and shifts smoothly. The cylinder, piston, rings, crank and con rod have been inspected and are in excellent shape. 6V 60 watt electrics. Coils check for continuity. New points included. Carb is in excellent working order. 2 petcocks, both functioning and included. Gas tank electrolytically cleaned and sealed with Red Kote. Pictured with an old Yamaha seat pan. Original seat included.
